To understand the meaning of our existence and how we think we have existed, and what determines the manner we exist, we must examine the nexus of knowledge and power and its relationship to truth.

Our existence, I believe, has been based on 'borrowed truths'. I shall explain what 'borrowed' means as a 'transcultural phenomena rooted in materialism'.

But first, let us look at the fundamental character of truth as well as its origin.

The dominance of one truth over another or over many others depends on how much that truth is propelled by force. Scientific knowledge, scientism, belief systems, political ideologies, myths and superstition, Grand and subaltern narratives of one's culture, are products of 'truth-force' authored by human beings.
